Tuesday Trivia: First 30-30 players

[cgjackson222]

Some top MVP candidates are chasing feats of power and speed. Ohtani is vying for the first 50 HR, 50 SB year ever. Both Francisco Lindor and Bobby Witt Jr. are hoping to be the first players with back-to-back 30-30 seasons since Ryan Braun in 2011-12.

Question: Who where the first 6 (different) players to have at least 30 HRs and 30 SBs in the same season?

Bonus Question: Which franchise has the most 30-30 players?

(As always, please guess, rather than looking up the answer)

[Casey2296]

Mays and Aaron have to be on that list.

Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb (the reason for my guess is that I just recently read on MLB.com that if Ohtani finishes in the top two in the league in both HRs and SBs, he would be the first to do that since Wagner and Cobb).

[jayshum]

Bobby Bonds

For the Bonus Question, I think it's a toss up between the Braves and the Giants. I'll choose the Giants.

[rats60]

Ken Williams was the first 30/30 player.

Great guess! I believe the Giants have had the most total seasons going 30/30 with Mays, Bobby and Barry Bonds combining for 10 total seasons.

You are correct about the Braves, but I can't reveal all of them yet, as one is an answer to the original question about who was the 5th or 6th player to 30/30.

There is one other franchise besides the Braves that have had 4 different players record 30/30 seasons.
